Alta Utah and Little Cottonwood Canyon

This is your typical view coming up or down Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah. The road is often slippery as hell and tons of snow blanket the trees, road, everything.

In short--it's awesome.

Broken Glass is your friend

Some workers broke a huge window in my old house while renovating. It stayed broken for a month or two.
At first I was kinda pissed but soon realized it was kinda cool. I mean no air or animals came in and the photos were very fun and eye catching. Click on that bad boy and see how cool it looks bigger.

So I did a bunch. Here is one simple one. Depending on the time of day, focus, f-stop, etc.... you could create a whole world of possibility. More to come cuz these are fun.

Del Rey Yacht Club Catalina Race part 2

A few panoramics to start with. Oh Oh I ended with a preposition.
The first is the starting point in Catalina for the race back to Marina Del Rey. I left it choppped up and not cropped just to be different.
Next is a 6 shot pano completely done in Lightroom with a couple of Nik filters thrown in for good measure. And cropped thinly or tightly or whatever you want to call it.
The 3rd shot is the Marina Del Rey to Catalina portion of the race. Those three boats with Malibu in the backround are our main competitors. The went high - we went low. They were right -we were wrong. We lost by 14 minutes or so.
This last shot I just like.
